Congrats on your A3, I love mine. Mind the transmission, what fluid is in it; 10W40 or ATF? Mine came from the Air Force with ATF. After servicing it I lost the 4 gear/rev circuit. The dreaded internal seal failure. It's coming out for overhaul. Keep her exercised.

Yes, if the FDC has been bypassed, diesel only is the recommendation. It will run on other fuels, however it may lead to detrimental consequences. Remember, this engine was designed to operate reliably under combat conditions, hopefully you are not being shot at. Run diesel.

Like all have stated, No Problem, toss a couple little bottles of 2 stroke oil in the tank. She'll purr like a kitten. Pay attention next time.

Post up a picture of the engine data plate, located on the right side of the engine block. Bypassing the fuel density compensator (FDC) would lend the engine to diesel only. Other than that, your truck should be equiped with a multi-fuel engine.

Herculiner is commercially available; Auto Zone, Advanced Auto, Amazon. -all the "A" stores. Spray cans, or gallons for roll on. Stuff works.

You have it covered, if it was summer, a can of Wasp/Horent spray. With all that preparations, Mr. Murphy will most likely leave you alone. ROAD TRIP.

Yep, same data plate, my truck's vin: 05D78771 C13710163. I think they're cousins. Also source a spare battery switch. Simple R & R. And trouble shooting.

Ajax, Your observations are pretty typical of these old trucks. "Nature of the beast". The "dead" battery switch is very common, it 's issue resides in the PCB. Old relays, just cycle the batt switch until the volt meter come alive. My 925 has that issue occasionally. As for the primer on the...

How about the pintle hitch?

That's not playing, that's working.... love the bullet holes in the wind shield. Hopefully that was target practice and not demand for payment.

Find some rough cut oak to make your cribbing, pine will crush/split. Follow Simp's instructions.

Well done Aussie, got further than I have. Keep us posted. Thought your trail would flip on it's side like mine did.....

I've had good success with UShip. Had a M35 and a M936 hauled at decent prices.

[] I've been prepping the inside of my cab for some paint. Rolled on some Herculiner on the floor boards and will spray over it with color this weekend. Going to look new with the new spring seat and passenger seat covers.

Yep, incorrect part for the M35. That is one half of a side for an extend bed 5 ton. Time to source the correct racks/seats. Beat the bushes, their out there. The forward rack also looks to be "modified" with the ends sawed off.

Mirko, welcome from Kentucky. Congrats on your truck. Nice find.

Welcome from Kentucky, Sounds like you have a real project ahead of you. As always, we need pictures...or it doesn't exist.... Be safe.

Correct, you want the TC to get warm and have the diesel fuel get good and circulated. No heavy hauling or hill climbing, just nice level cruise, it may take two flushs. It is worth the time, very easy to drain and fill. Diesel is cheap.

I had the same issue with the transfer case in my M813, intermittent engagement, I got solid advice from Ron Harris (KGR). He instructed me to drain, fill with diesel fuel and drive the truck (un loaded) for a couple miles. He said that when I drain it I'll find scale, crap, and dead bugs in...
